:
Our love of the 2D Oddworld game is misplaced: it's not the 2D that made it what it was, it was the sheer quality accomplished with 90's tools, now enhanced with a not-inconsiderable dose of nostalgia.
[...]
We should not support the making of a new 2D Oddworld game because "that's what makes Oddworld great", because it isn't.
I just wanted to highlight this point, because I 100% agree with it.

Every time someone posts about how they want to see a new 2D Oddworld game, it irritates me because people equate 2D with quality for this series.

People are, I think, misled because of MO's lacklustre quality - they see it as proof that only 2D can work for Oddworld. It absolutely is not the case, and I wish more people would realise that.
